THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE. 

By henry WATTERSON. 
First Vice-President General of the Inter-State Board. 

WI1.\TI''A'I'-R we may r^r may not lie. we Amerieans 
can scarcely lie calleil a memorializing rienple. We 
seem indeed readier tn accept the self-assertirm nf 
the Ining than to erect nmnnments to the dead. Long ago 
Barnum. the shuwnian, discii\ered that even as the average 
Englishman dearly loves a lord ilocs tlie a\erage Yankee 
dearly love a hnmhng. It is to the unmen of onr land that 
we are indehted for the stately ^haft in hunnr of W ashington 
which towers over the Xation.al I anilal. as well as for the 
ownership of Monnt Verni>n. Latterly Lincoln has heen 
coming to a proper recognition. I'.nt when we look for \isi- 
hle signs of the saints and sages, the heroes and martyrs of 
other days, we discover that they are few and far between 
and very hard to find. 

In Etnaipe, go where \'on will, yon may not come njion a 
\illage or handet that hoasts not some expression of pions 
homage and local pride in liroiii-e or marlile, some "storied 
urn or animated Imst," recalling the life and deeds of the 
great man who was horn there, whilst the parks, the streets 
and the pnhlic places of the cities and towns are everywhere 
ennohlefl and heautitied hy the imagery, inspired hy the 
nomenclature of the past. \'itali/ing history and educating and

Around the Great Lakes, as we call our inland oceans, 
with Chicago, the world-famous, for an axis, flanked by Mil- 
waukee, the Queen City of Wisconsin, and Detroit, the Fairy 
Goddaughter of Michigan— sailing from Duluth to Bufl^alo— 
tarrying awhile at Toledo and Sandusky and Erie— shame 
upon thetti !— we look, with a single exception, in vain for 
some evidence that less than an hundred years ago there live.l 
a man named Oliver Hazard Perry, and, save as a fishing 
resort, that there is, or ever was a place called Put-in-Bay. 
All honor to the single exception ! In Cleveland, that 
miracle of modern progress, which carries Ohio's challenge 
to the Great Northwest and gives her rivals on either hand 
a run for their money, we do learn that, on the 10th of Sep- 
tember, 1,S1.3, a battle was fought by Oliver Hazard Perry in 
the waters of Put-in-Bay, which enabled the victor to relate 
that "wc have met the enemy and they are ours!" 

Next after John Paul Jones stands Oliver Hazard Perry. 
Jones brought the American Revolution home to England. 
Perry drove England back behind the barricades of her New 
I'>ance. The tight off Scarborough Head in the North Sea 
told the world that if England was the mistress of the sea, 
America was master. The fight off Put-in-Bay rescued the 
territory conquered by George Rogers Clark and wiped out 
the disgrace of Hull's surrender. Jones laid the cloth for the 
French alliance. Perry cleared the way for Harrison's ad- 
vance and shortened the distance between Bladensburg an.l 
the Treaty of (7hent. But, above all, it was Perry, like Jones,

who gave the world assurance of a man, of an American and 
of America, the resistless, the unconqneralile ; of the flag, tlie 
glorious, the wonder-lireeding ; of tlie Union, the imperishable. 
Over every frontispiece from the Aurora Borealis to the 
Southern Cross, over every temple of liberty and trade, over 
every arena of manly prowess and productive achievement, 
lilaziiig in letters of living light, as Webster would have said, 
shine forever the letters that spell the words, "We have met 
the enemy and they are ours." 

It was a marvelous battle, a magical victory. The story 
reads like a page out of the impossible. Truly is there a 
destiny that governs the world and rules in the lives of men. 
The young subaltern, rusting and fretful in the little Rhode 
Island seaport; the louged-for call to action and the instant 
answer of the minute men ; the sudden apparition of a fleet 
in the harbor of Eric as though some wizard hand had touched 
the forest and conmianded its trees of oak and ash to rise 
and sail the deep; the thunder of the guns carrying Freedom's 
message of defiance; the havoc, the repulse, the running of 
the gauntlet of fire and blood from ship to ship. Let me read 
\ou the brief, immortal story. I take it from the graphic 
narrative of John Clark Ridpath. 

The Lawrence, Perry's flagship, began to suffer 
dreadfully under the concentrated fire of the enemy. 
First one gun and then another was dismounted. The 
masts were broken. The rigging of the vessel was 
rent away. The sails were torn to shreds. Soon she

yiflded no lunger lo the wind, but lay helpless on the 
water. 

On the deck death held carnival. The American 
sailors lay dead and dying on every hand. During the 
two hours that Perry faced his antagonist his men 
were reduced to a handful. Entering the action the 
Lawrence had a crew of officers and men nuniliering 
a hundred and three. Of these, by 2 o'clock in the 
afternoon, eighty-three were either dead or wounded. 
Still Perry held out. Others fell around him, until 
only the commander and thirteen others were left 
uninjured. 

Meanwhile all the ships had become engaged — but 
the Niagara only at long range and ineffectively. 
ElHott. the captain of that vessel, perceiving that re- 
sistance from the Lawrence had ceased, now sailed 
ahead believing that Perry had fallen and that the 
command had devolved on himself. It was at this 
juncture that Perry resolved upon that famous exploit 
which has made his name immortal. He pulled down 
his battle flag, but left the .Stars and Stripes still float- 
ing ! Then with his brother Alexander and four of his 
remaining seamen, he lowered hitnself into the boat. 
He flung his pennant and battle flag over his arm and 
around his person, stepped into the boat, stood upright 
and ordered the men to pull for the Niagara. 

That vessel was more than a half-mile distant. 
It required the oarsmen fully fifteen minutes to make 
the passage. The boat had to pass in full exposure 
to the enemy's guns. The British at once perceived 
what was doing. As the smoke cleared from around

the hull cif the I.awrenee they saw the daring act of 
the eoiimiander, transferring his flag fnim one ship 
to another. His own \ essel was shattered to death; 
hnt there was the Xia^ara, hale and strong. Should 
he succeed in iiiakinj; her deck, the hattle would lie to 
tight over again. Xictury or defeat was turning on 
the issue. 

The British guns opened on the little Imat. Dis- 
charge after discharge followed. Some id the sliot 
struck the frail cockle, and (he splinters tlew ; hut the 
men were unhurt. I'erry continued to stand up as a 
target until the faith fid seamen refused to ptdl unless 
he wmdd sink down to a position of greater safety. 
The shot from the enemy's guns knocked the water 
into spray around theni, Init the lioat reached the 
Niagara in safety, and I'erry was taken up. A mo- 
ment more, and his hattle Hag was Hying aho\e the 
unhurt ship ! 

May every schoolljoy and every schoolgirl in the land read 
the rest of it; how, his foot upon the .leek of the Niagara, 
his hattle Hag again H.\ing at the fore, F'erry swooped like a 
hurricane down upon the enemy's line; cut the British fleet 
in two, right in the imddle, three vessels on the right, three 
upon the left; hroadside after hroadside on either hand; death 
and destruction in his resistless wake. Thirty minutes and 
all is o\er. The firave k'nglish commander, Barclay, liors dc

"two ships, twu brigs, one schooner and one sloop," said Perry 
in his report to Harrison, written upon the back of an old 
letter, his hat for a desk. 

The victor (again I quote from Ridpath ) did n.it in the 
elation of his triumph forget the situation around him. lie 
caused himself to be transferred from the still unhurt Xiagara 
back to the bloody deck of the Lawrence. There, and not in 
some other place, would he receive the surremler of the enemy 
The British officers as they came up to present their swords 
had to pick their way tlirough dead and dying, slip[)ing in 
pools of l)lood as they came. Perry bade his antagonists 
retain their swords, his the chivalry of one to whom the for- 
tunes of war had gi\'en the power, but not the right, to lumiili- 
ate a fallen foe. 

In the silence of the following night the dead sailors, 
British and .American, were consigned to their last rest in the 
clear waters of Lake Krie. The ne.xt day Perry brought back 
to Pnt-in-Bay his own and the captured fleet. Sailing into 
the harbor, the dead officers of both conmiamls were buried 
on the shore. The losses had been very great. Dn the .\meri- 
can side twenty-seven were killed and ninet>'-six wounded — 
this out of a force of but little over four hundred effective 
men. The loss of the British was forty-one killed and ninety 
four wounded, the gallant Captain Barclay, who had already 
lost an arm, having the misfortune to lose the other. 

Great was the fame of the battle and of him who won it. 
It was the tirst time in history that an entire British fleet,

large or small, had lieen taken in any open, equal contlict. 
Lake Erie was cleared. The way for Harrison and his braves, 
for Shelby and his liunting shirts, was opened, and forever 
and ever the Great Northwest, rid of invaders, was redeemed. 
A hundred years have come and gone— a hundred years 
of peace between the two nations of Anglo-Saxon and Scotch- 
Irish blood and tongue— and we are about to celebrate with 
fitting rites the heaven-blessed consummation. No wounds 
survive the Wars of the Revolution or of 1812. Each party 
to the strife showed itself a valiant. Each carried its trophies 
from the field, each has nursed its glories, not its griefs. 
Blood is thicker than water. On the 10th of September, 1913, 
we shall do honor alike to Barclay and to Perry, the monu- 
ment over both a Monument of Peace. Thenceforward until 
the end of 1914, the centenary of the Treaty of Ghent, the 
jubilation will proceed, mutual and unabated.

AKRON— "THE CITY OF OPPORTUNITY" 

HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST RUBBER FACTORY 








In the whole history of the State of Ohio 

Nothing has been more reniarkaljle than the ra[Md uprise of the city of 
Akron, a city which, comparatively unknown a few years since, now 
numbers nearly 100,000 people. 

This marvelous increase can be directly attributed to the fact that a 
little over forty years ago Dr. Goodrich located in Akron, and opened in 
a tiny factory, what has proven to be one of the most surprising chapters 
of industrial development in the whole of our history. Starting with 
cinly thirty hands, the gigantic factory has grown to one employing 
fifteen thousand people and ccjvering over seventy-five acres of ground. 
This success of the Goodrich Company has in its turn attracted others, 
making Akron today the largest rubber producing center in the world. 

The Goodrich reputation has been built up on a square deal policy, 
and this is rigidly maintained in all its dealings not only with its custo- 
mers, but also with its employees. The firm's motto, " Everything that's 
best in nibljer," covers a wide field, including the following: 

TIRES, pneumatic and solid, for automobiles, motor trucks, motor- 
cycles, bicycles, buggies, etc. 

HOSE of every description. 

ENGINEERS' SUPPLIES. 

SURGEONS and DRUGGISTS' GOODS, Hot Water Bottles, etc. 

PLUMBERS' SUPPLIES. 

Mats and Matting, Automobile Sundries, Raincoats, Boots and 
Shoes. 

ELECTRICAL GOODS, wires, cables and battery jars. 

BELTING, drive belts, elevator and conveyor belts. 

Special catalogs are published of all these lines and will be furnished 
on request.

The \\'<\r of 1812-15 was an addenda to American Inde- 
pendence, and necessary to the consuniation of it; and to 
confirm and establish the right of the United States to a 
territory northwest of the River Ohio— possessed of soil, 
coal minerals, forestry, imre springs and water for naviga- 
tion, power, etc.: natural grasses and other vegetation and

The naval \ ictorv (September 10, ISIIH.) nf Perry on Lake 
Erie following hard fought battles (often of doubtful result,) 
on land in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and followed by 
(~ieneral William llenry Harrison's victory ((October .5, 181.'!.) 
over (general Proctor and the allied Indians under Tecumseh 
at the Ri\er Thames, in Canada, resulted in the expulsion of 
the English forces from Lhiited States territory, and_ the 
dispersion of the savage Indians, practically, from the Great 
Xorthwest, leading, logicallx, to the Treaty of Ghent, De-

The Inviting Chalmers "Thirty-Six" 



Inviting because it simply appears good and 
right. Some houses are that way — the ones you 
know are right, without knowing just why. 

The wide door invites you to step in, the deep 
cushions to sit down, the big steering wheel to 
drive. 

Just keep your seat — don't get out in the street 
again. The control of this car is centered on the 
cowled dash. 

Push a button and the Chalmers cranks itself. 

Chalmers was the first car t(i have a depend- 
able starter. Chalmers " Thirty-Si.K " gave a trade 
name to the year 1912. That year goes down in 
automobile history as " Self-Starter year." Chal- 
mers cars set fashions. 

Just move a lever and the carburetor is 
adjusted. 

Turn a switch and the electric lights are (in. 

The levers and jicdals and wheel are just where 
vou want them. In fact, all the " controls " of 
the Chalmers are riglit to ynur hand — most of 
them artistically grciuped on the stylishly cowled 
dash. 

And, b\' the way, that's ancither big automobile 
improvement the Chalmers had first — the cowled 
dash. Compare this one feature with the same 
on other cars — see if the Chalmers isn't better 
done. 

Rims are demountable. 

In view of all these good points a Chalmers 
" Thirtv-Six " is particularly inviting because of 
its moderate price — a fully equipped up-to-the- 
minute motor car of .\-l goodness. Always on 
view at our dealers' showrooms.

not to exceed one hundred tons burden, armed with one 
eighteen pound cannon, " and that no other vessels of war 
sliall be there built or armed." 

The one hundred-ton vessels were solely for police purposes, 
and to secure the collection of revenue. This arrangement 
has been faithfully, in spirit, and almost in letter, carried out 
in all respects by both countries. It has proved to be of 
paramount importance to both countries. 

It logically followed the Treaty of Ghent, already referred 
to. which was proclaimed ratified, February IS, 1S15, and 
which was only so far a treaty of peace as to terminate the 
W ar of 1,S]2 between Great Britain and the United States. 

Its opening sentence reads : 

"There shall be a firm and universal peace be- 
tween His Britannic iMajesty and the United States, 
and between their respective countries, territories, 
cities, towns, and people, of every degree, without 
exception of places or persons." 
It contained other necessary provisions relating to restora- 
tion of territorv to the United States; of archives and records 
to their proper owners; as to the disposition of certain 
islands, the title to which was in dispute; as to hostilities 
ceasing; as to the restoration of prizes and prisoners of war; 
as to certain boundaries and how they were to be settled 
where in dispute; as to the termination by the United States 
and his Britannic Majesty of hostilities with all Indi;in 
tribes of America with whom they were each at war. and it 
concludes with a declaration against the traffic m Slaves, and 
pledges both countries to use their best endeavors to ac- 
complish its abolition. 

The Treatv of Ghent did not undertake to regulate com- 
merce between the two nations, but to do this it was closely 
fnllowed hv another, ratified December 23, 1S15. Both these 
treaties recognized the continuing existence, so far as pos- 
sible of the treaties of Paris, November .SO, 1783, and Sep- 
tember 3 17S3. concluding the \\"ar of the .\merican Revolu- 
tion- also the later London "Treaty of .Xmity. Commerce and 
Xavagation" of November 19. 1704. and other minor treaties 
betwel-n the two great Eii.glish speaking n.ations of the 
world. 

Since the treaty of Ghent there have been numerous treaties 
between the United States and Great Britain, relating mainly 
to commerce, navagation. boundaries, intcriiatmnal policies.

tn the huilcling of an Isthmian Canal, its neutralization, etc., 
hut no other treaty of peace has heen necessary, hoth nations 
having been at peace with each other, for almost one hiin- 
ilred years. 

The Commissioners, appointed under the treaty of Ghent, 
estaldished, for the (jreat Lakes, the boundary line to be 
from the middle of the river (Iroquois) at its intersection 
uith Lake Ontario, through the middle of Lake Ontario and 
the connecting waters from Lake Erie; thence through the 
middle of Lake Erie and the waters communicating to and 
through Lake Huron and the waters communicating with 
Lake Superior to Lake Superior; thence through it north- 
ward of the " Isles Royal and Philipeau, to the Long 
Lake," (Rainey Lake): thence through its middle and the 
waters communicating between it and the Lake of the 
Woods, etc. 

With tlie water of this most important chain of fresh 
water lakes of the world almost exactly divided between 
two of the most progressive, influential and important na- 
tions of all time, their perpetual neutralization — exemption 
from naval warfare, marks an important epoch in civilization, 
and it became an early advance step towards universal peace 
among all nations. 

Peace and neutralization go hand in haml, and they go 
far towards securing the prosperity and bapiiiness of all 
mankind. 

Tested alone by material benefits, leaving the other and 
greater ones to unselfish and more exalted view, this 
neutralization treaty has produced and continues to produce 
restdts and incident benefits and blessings to the human race, 
not computable in li,gures, but only capable of being ascer- 
tained liy the scales of dixine mercy. 

The subsequent (1888) international neutralization treaty 
of the Suez Canal, (only 78 miles in length.) connecting the 
Mediterranean and tlie Red Seas, is a fitting example of an 
applied and successful policy, having its initial trial in the 
neutralization of the American Great Lakes; and an example 
leading to the later Ilay-Pauncefote treaty of November 18, 
1901, also between the L'nited States and Great Britain, by 
which the now soon to be complete<l Panama Canal is. in 
like manner, to be, or should be, neutralized and kept open 
and free for ships of all kinds of all nations in times of war 
as well as peace.

The one-lnindred-ton vessel and its eighteen pound cannon 
provided for in the Rush-Bagot treaty of 1S17. as before 
stated, are only for police purposes and to enforce the 
collection of duties, but not for war. So the e.xisting Suez 
and Panama Canal treaties provide for an ample police force 
to protect the canals from injury or disorder, but not for 
war. In time of peace no war vessels or military forces are 
needed ; and in time of war the signatory powers to the 
international neutralization, guarantees the canals from in- 
terruption, or injury. Neutralization operates to prevent 
war; and, in case of war, to save life and property, and, con- 
sequently, to avert the direful and destructive effects of war. 

Let us turn to history to prove, indisputably, what neutral- 
ization under the 1817 treaty has accomplished. The Great 
Lakes were neutralized almost an hundred years ago. Great 
Britain and the Wnited States have since been without a 
war vessel there. And, by necessary consequence, war vessels 
of all the other nations of the world have been, and, like- 
wise are, excluded. Other waters like the Straits of Magellan, 
parts of the Danube and later the Suez Canal, have been 
neutralized, but, mainly, for the purposes of free navigation. 

The neutralization of the Great American Lakes includes 
vastly more than free navigation. It guarantees against war 
on the Lakes and the safety of the cities, etc., on their shores 
from attack by water. It came when the shores of these 
lakes were little inhabited and the tributary country was not 
at all developed as to agriculture, mining and other in- 
dustries, when cities were to be founded and built, etc. In- 
habitants and civilization was yet to move in. 

Not one dollar, in the elapsed century, has since been spent 
to fortify or to build ships to protect a city or village on 
the American or British lake coasts of five thousand or more 
miles in extent. The accumulated wealth of the United 
States would be exhausted in a vain endeavor to now safely 
fortify, against a single modern battleship, the now great 
cities of Toledo, But¥alo. Erie, Lorain, Sandusky. Detroit, 
blay City, Superior, Duluth, Milwaukee, Racine, Michigan 
Lity and Chicago, to say nothing of other cities and villages 
im these lake shores. As Iniilt. on the shore line, without 
covering e.xterior harbors, exposed to the open lakes. Chicago. 
Milwaukee, Lorain, Erie, Cleveland and other like situated 
cities, can never be successfully fortified against lake attack. 
Treasure would be futilely expended in the attempt. These 
and other cities and towns of the LInited States with their now 
millions of inhabitants, would never have been built but f^r

tlie 1817 treaty. They could not have heeii located inland and 
have reached their present population, business and wealth 
So of oUier cities and places on the British shores of these 
lakes. Civilization and progress would not only ha\e been 
delayed, hut it would have been absolutely stifled' indefinitely 
thereby seriously affecting the whole world. If these cities' 
had or could have been built and so located as to be safely 
fortihed against lake attack, the cost of building and main'- 
taining war-ships on the lakes and fortifications would have 
been, and with modern battleships would continue to be 
such a colossal national expense as could not be borne. 

The original and maintaining cost of fortifying the cities 
of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Annapolis 
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston 
San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, etc., on our 
Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts has amounted to billions 
of dollars, and the cost of enlarging and maintaining the 
fortifications, to resist modern guns and armored ships, at 
these places increases annually many millions. All, however, 
that has been accomplished, and saved, by the 1S17 treaty,' 
great as it has proved to be. is still overshadowed, in im-

Grand in conception and purpose as was this so placed 
ligure of Christ, yet, however full its design and purpose 
may have been, or may yet be through future ages ac- 
complished, It will, inevitably, fall far short of what has iseen 
and will be accomplished for Peace and Civilization by the 
short scroll of neutralization between the two great English 
speaking nations of which we have spoken. 

The celebration soon to be held under the auspices of the 
Perry's Victory Centennial Commission is, in some sense 
international, and, happily, it is to be followed the succeeding 
year by a more specific celeliration of the " Century of Peace " 
between Great Britain and the United States already being 
arranged for by distinguished delegates from England 
Lanada, Newfoundland, Australia and the municipality of 
Ghent, Belgium, (where the 1814 treatv was signed), and an 
American Peace Committee. 

The celebration, we repeat, about to be held at Put-in-Bay, 
and the granite monument now being erected there, are not 
in their true and full significance, so much to commemorate a 
naval battle between Great Britain and the United States on 
Lake Erie, as to celebrate a succeeding century of peace be- 
tween the two great world powers, and to testify and proclaim 
anew the wisdom and the happy glorious results of the 
etlective neutralization of important navigable waters, whereby 
uninterrupted commerce and industry and the consequent 
unparalleled growth and prosperity of cities and vast regions 
of the country are the inestimable fruits. 

The 1817 treaty, it is to be hoped, will forever remain a 
witness and monitor for peace, and a guide to universal 
neutralization of the Seas, Lakes and Rivers of the World. 
Its brief, explicit provisions should be emblazoned in char- 
acters of solid gold so high in the firmament of the heavens 
as to be seen and known by all peoples and nations, as an 
example to be followed, and a beacon to guide them in ac- 
complishing Universal Peace on Earth. 

This treaty is the chief, crowning, resultant glory of 
Perry's Naval Victory and Harrison's army victories on sea 
and land in the War of 1812.

THE PERRY MEMORIAL. 

By JOSEPH HENRY FREEDLANDER, 

THE scheme of The Perry Memorial had its inception 
in a coml)ination of remarkable historical events. It 
is a striking fact that England and America two 
countries which have been at peace for a period of a hun- 
dred years, should purpose to definitely seal their frien.l- 
ship by means of a general treaty, the spirit of which shall 
insure to the English speaking races this final triumph ,,f 
civilization. It has therefore seemed most fitting to em- 
body in a Memorial commemorative of Perry's victory at 
the battle of Lake Erie an expression of the treaty of 
arbitration about to be entered into between the'tw,. 
nations— an epoch-making event in the history of two 
great peoples of vast and significant moment. 

E.xactly one hundred years after the last war it is pro- 
posed to enter into an arbitration treaty designed to in- 
sure everlasting peace. 

It was with this thought pregnant with good-will to 
mankind in mind that the Perry Memorial was conceived. 
Three elements in the composition immediately suggested 
themselves: the shaft, the Museum, and a statue flunked 
by a Colonnade, typifying peace by arbitration. 

The composition was born in an instant— the shaft took 
the form of a great Doric column, with the Museum on the 
left and the Colonnade on the right. All were placed on a 
broad plaza elevated only slightly above the ground so 
that the entire Memorial would appear to rise from the 
sea and be further enhanced by its reflections in the rip- 
pling waters. 

The Column stands alone so that it may be seen over 
the water from all points of the compass and by its 
very height dominate the surrounding country. The 
Museum and Colonnade are distant from it some three

hundred feet and thus will not obscure its perspective at 
any point. On the contrary its setting as the central 
motive in the composition will insure a degree of dignity 
impossible to obtain were the other buildings placed in 
close proximity. The Museum and Colonnade in turn 
are placed on terraces at a slightly higher elevation than 
the- main platform so that they may give grace and variety 
to the vista and their architectural setting be assured. 

In view of the location of the site in so great an expanse 
of water and the necessarily isolated character which tliesc 
conditions imply, the Doric order treated without orna- 
ment of any kind seemed best adapted to convey the 
impression of grandeur and simplicity which the Me- 
morial is intended to suggest. The plaza covers almost 
the entire site in length, and in width extends from the 
waters of Lake Erie to those of Put-in-Bay. Here it is 
reached by a broad flight of steps forming the main ap- 
proach. The shore drive runs through it, thus making it 
accessible to visitors both by land and by sea. A landing 
stage for small boats is provided at the bottom of the 
flight of stops. Besides insuring an architectural base for 
the general composition the plaza is intended to serve for 
exercises and ceremonies requiring the accommodation of 
large assemblages. Its extreme length is seven hundred 
and fifty feet and its width on the main central axis is 
four hundred and fifty-eight feet. It is twelve feet above 
mean high water while the tefraces immediately surround- 
ing the Museum and the Colonnade are elevated three 
feet more or fifteen feet above mean high water. The level 
of the roadway is elevated six feet above the water, a 
broad flight of steps leading down to it and in turn another 
flight continues to the water's edge. 

It is intended to plant such portions of the site not 
covered by the plaza with shrubs and to enclose the 
Memorial in a setting of landscape gardening, by means 
of paths, lawns, borders and planting. The trees on the 
site are being carefully preserved so that their foliage may

big conveniences provided for guests, 
little con\^eniences are not forgotton. That 
involves a complete equipment. 

Hotel Statler is operated, from cellar to 
roof, to carry out one idea: comfort, conven- 
ience and sdtisfiiction to every guest. That 
involves a complete service— extra courtesy, 
thoughtfulness and helpfulness on the part of 
employees. It is more than good hotel serv- 
ice — // is Hotel StiitJcr Service. 

"Hdtfl service — that is, Hotel Statler Service — 

means tlu- limit (if courteous, efficient attention from 

each particular employee to each particular j:;uest."

as well 

Tl,e stone selecte.l for the entire .Memorial is a white 
gra>Hte, extremely beautiful in texture and color and of a 
sufficently delicate pink cast to temper it and to counter- 
act the natural tendency of pure white stones to take on 
a blmsh cast under the sky. Its geological composition 
.s as nearly perfect as can be obtained and ,t was selected 
after exhaustive mechanical tests on account of its hard- 
ness and consequent great <lurabil,ty, the latter qu.abty 
being naturally an essential m the choice of material for 
a monument destined to last through the ages. In order 
to give It as brilliant a texture as possible it is tooled or 
chanelled with fine vertical lines. This treatment has the 
same effect on granite as the cutting of facets on precious 
stones and tends to produce a sparkle, brilliancy and play 
■d light and shade extremely pleasing to the eye. 

The Column. fonniuH; the central motive of the Me 
nior.al IS surmounted by a massive bronze tripod the 
bow of which is illuminated by means of a cluster of a 
luindred concealed incandescent lights. 

The height of the Clunin measured from the level of 
the terrace to the top of the tripod is three hundred and 
thirty-hve feet. The tripod is eighteen feet hi^^h its 
.greatest diameter is twenty feet and it will weigh eleven 
tons. It will be of solid bronze, cast .aud transported to 
the site in sections, and then riveted together on the

at night with the rays of innuincrable incandescent lamps, 
installed underneath it. 

The foundations of the Column as well as those of the 
Museum and of the Colonnade will rest directly on rock. 
At the inception of the work diamond-drill borings to 
ascertain the nature of the soil were made with the result 
that rock was found to underlie the entire site at levels of 
from ten to twenty feet below the surface. This made it 
possible to drive the forms for the concrete foundations 
directly to rock, and did away with the necessity of sink- 
ing caissons. The strata was found to be hard and homo- 
geneous and of excellent bearing quality. 

The Column is forty-five feet in diameter at the base 
and thirty-five at the neck, while the thickness of the 
walls at these points is nine feet and five feet respectively. 
The walls are built of granite ashlar or facing, backed up 
with concrete to a height of some eighty feet and con- 
tinued with brick to the top of the shaft. The diameter 
of the clear space in the interior of the Column is twenty- 
five feet six inches. There are seventy-eight courses of 
stone in the height of the shaft. An interesting feature of 
the structural detail is the construction of the cap of 
the Column. This has an overhang or projection at the 
angle of fifteen feet, measured on the diagonal. In order 
to hold the granite in place on the soffit or underside 
forms are built, the stones, after being cut with keys on 
the upper surface, are laid on them and reinforced con- 
crete poured until the whole becomes a homogeneous 
mass. After this has set the forms are removed and the 
stones dressed on the underside to an even surface. 

In the base of the column a memorial rotunda has been 
arranged. It is faced with Indiana limestone and is 
entered directly from the terrace by means of four bronze 
doors facing the cardinal points of the compass. The 
floor of this rotunda is three feet below the terrace level, 
four short flights of granite steps leading down to it. It 
is composed of a field of Tennessee marble with a center- 
piece and border in color. The ceiling of the rotunda takes 
the form of a dome, from the center of which will hang a 
bronze lighting fixture. 

The remains of eighteen British and American officers 
who took part in the battle will be moved from^ their 
present resting-place on the Island and re-interred in the 
walls of the rotunda. Their names, as well as those of 
all others who fought at Lake Erie will be carved in the

stone panels. In the center of the rotunda it is purposed to 
place a bronze statue of Perry, to commemorate the most 
remarkable achievement in naval history, whereby a 
hitherto unknown naval officer, twenty-six years old, saved 
for the United States all that great territory bordering the 
length of the Great Lakes. 

Two flights of granite stairs built in the thickness of 
the walls afford communication between the four entrance 
vestibules adjacent to the rotunda and the landing above 
it. At this level the elevator and staircase start, and run 
to the top of the Column. The staircase is built of re- 
inforced concrete throughout its entire height of some 
two hundred and fifty feet. It runs around and is sup- 
ported by four concrete columns and is composed of four 
liundred and sixty-seven steps. The elevator is installed 
in the staircase well and is of the high geared traction 
type. Its speed is two hundred and fifty feet per minute 
and it is capable of lifting twenty-five hundred pounds. It 
is fitted with every modern safety device including an 
apparatus which automatically precludes the car from 
moving until the doors of the shaft are closed. The trip 
from the lower to the upper landing is made in one minute. 
From the upper platform a door leads to the outside para- 
pet, concealed in the cap of the column. From this 
parapet forming a promenade three hundred feet above 
the terrace level a magnificent view of the surrounding 
country is obtained. The panoramic scene presented by 
the waters of the Lake is imposing and wonderfully 
beautiful at all times of the day, while at night the im- 
pression conveyed by the intense quiet and the twinkling 
of innumerable lights is fairy-like and reminiscent of the 
star-lit lagoons of the Adriatic. A glass dome and venti- 
lators at the top of the Column provide light and _ air. 
while in addition the entire interior of the shaft is lined 
with a light colored face brick, terminating at the bottom 
in a white tile base. The Column, as well as the Museum, 
the Colonnade and the terrace is lit electrically throughout, 
and is provided with inter-communicating and general 
telephone systems. All of the buildings are of fireproof 
construction and built of non-combustible materials — not 
a single piece of wood is used in any part of the work. 

The Museum is to house a collection of Perryana as well 
as such arms, books, paintings, engravings and relics which 
pertain to the period and arc reminiscent of the war of 
1S12. The building including the portico along the length 
of the principal facade is eighty-five feet long and sixty-

four feet wide. Its height from the level of the terrace 
is forty-two feet and the columns of the portico are 
twenty-three feet high. In the interior the large exhibition 
hall extends throughout the entire height of the building 
and has a gallery supported on columns running around it 
on all four sides. The treatment of the interior will be in 
stone and the columns of " breche violette " marble. The 
gallery will be lighted from above by means of a large 
skylight and on the rear rooms for the curator, for the 
catalogue and a council room for meetings of the Inter- 
State Board are arranged. At the two ends of the gallery 
decorative paintings illustrative of the battle of Lake Erie 
will be set in place. A frieze of panels carved in the 
granite and bearing the shields of the forty-eight States 
of the Union will run around the entire facade. 

The Colonnade forming a pendant to the Museum at the 
right of the Column will enclose on three sides a statue 
typifying " Peace by Arbitration." The height of the 
columns of the Colonnade will be the same as those of 
the Museum, thus preserving a symmetrical sky-line. The 
open space enclosed within the Colonnade will be laid out 
in tlie manner of a formal garden, bisected by a pathway 
terminating at either end in a fountain built in the walls. 
From the garden level a broad flight of steps leads to the 
terrace. In the center of the flight and on the main axis 
of the structure the statue and pedestal will be placed. 
The figure is seated and both in action and expression 
portrays that calm dignity and serenity illustrative of the 
abundant blessings which will accrue to those nations 
who shall have made themselves custodians of universal 
peace. 

The statue will be of heroic size, cast in bronze and 
about fifteen feet in height. 

A detail retjuiring careful study and of much interest in 
the design of the Memorial has been the provision made 
for the correction of the perspective bv means of asym- 
metric curves. The long flight of steps for instance wuuld 
appear to sag in the center if they were made straight or 
horizontal. Therefore they are built with a convex curve, 
that is to say they are some four inches higher at the 
center than at the ends. Thus in execution they will ap- 
pear perfectly level. In the same manner the terrace 
surrounding the shaft is raised in the center and lower at 
the ends— otherwise the Column would appear to depress 
it and it would produce the effect of resting in a concave

dish. Similarly every \ertical or horizontal surface o{ the 
entire group has been corrected by means of carefully 
calculated curvatures. 

To tie together the three elements of the composition 
there will be laid out on the main terraces and in the spaces 
between the Column and the flanking buildings a scheme 
of landscape gardening whose main feature will consist 
of a green-sward one hundred and fifty feet long and 
seventy-five feet wide. At either side two granite walks 
will be built leading from the Museum and Colonnade ter- 
races to the plaza surrounding the Column. These in turn 
will be bordered with shrubs, bay-trees, fiower beds, and 
other accessories which go to make up a garden wherein 
the public may find shelter and repose and a restful loung- 
ing place. I'^our large vases at the center terrace and 
smaller ones at the ends will serve to embellish the general 
layout and at either end of the steps leading from the 
water's edge a bronze standard bearing the national fla.g 
will be erected. Furthermore in deference to the naval 
character of the Memorial it is proposed to use as at- 
tributes in the treatment of the grounds bronze cannon, 
mortars and anchors presented by the Navy Department. 

This is in brief a description of the salient features of 
the Memorial. Erected to commemorate the valor am! 
courage of a great commander and an epoch-making event 
in the Iiistory of the United States — it shall have doubly 
fulfilled its mission if. down through the ages it shall 
stand — the first milestone on the high-road of everlasting 
peace.

CRUISE OF THE "NIAGARA" 

INTERNATIONAL interest attaches to the cruise of Commodore Ohver 
tlazard Perry's restored flagship " Niagara " in connection with the chain 
of local celebrations of the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Lake 
Erie during the summer of l!li:>, and of the century of peace ensuing between 
Great i'.ritain and the United States since the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 
181-i. The Commissioners of the Perry's Victory Centennial have contemplated 
the raising and restoration of the " Niagara " ever since the organization of Iheir 
Inter-State Board in September, 1910. The Pennsylvania Commissioners fur- 
nished the energy and the means necessary to bring this about, the Pennsylvania 
legislature making a special appropriation to meet the expenses. 

Both the " Niagara." on board of which Commodore Perry won the l)attle 
of Lake Erie, and his former flagship, the " Lawrence." which was ]nit out of 
action by the enemy in the early part of the battle of Lake Erie, were scuttle(l and 
sunk after the war of 1812 in Misery Bay, Erie Harbor, Pa. The " Lawrence" was 
raised and exhibited at the national exposition at Philadelphia in isTii. but was 
subse(|uentlv sulTered to be destroyed by the relic hunter. The Pemisyhania 
Commissioners do not propose that the " Niagara " shall meet with the same 
fate and have adopted measures for her permanent retention as an historical 
exhibit at Erie. 

The first soundings with a view to raising the " Niagara " were made in the 
aulunni c_)f 1912, and in the early spring of 1913 divers were sent down for a 
thorough examination of her condition. The old ship was found with many of 
iier original timbers intact, the hand-forged iron nails in most cases still adhering 
firmly. The vessel had lain for nearly a century on her side, partly imbedded in 
the clean white sand nf that region, with decaying vegetation entirel\' absent. 
The waters had tended to preserve her, the only disintegration being on the side 
nearest the surface, where the waves had washed away the gun ports. She was 
discovered to have been built mainly of oak. and the frame [lart of the l)u]\\'arks 
of oak, cedar and black walnut. Shortly after the examination she was raised 
from her long resting place and launched at Erie, with proper patriotic 
ceremonies, on June 7. Iiil3. Since then the work of restoration has con- 
tinued rapidly, and she will appear in her cruise of the Great Lakes in the 
Perry's \'ictory Centennial Celeliration substantially as she was in the battle of 
Lake Erie one hundred \ears ago, manned by a veteran crew especiallv selected 
by the Ignited States navy department. 

During her progress to the ports of the Great Lakes which will hold celebra- 
tions of the one hundredth anni\ersary of the Battle of Lake Erie, the " Niagara " 
will be convoyed by a fleet consisting of the representati\e naval militia ships of 
the Great Lakes and L'nited States re\-enue cutters. Her debut is scheduled 
for the fith of July at Erie. Pa., whence she will set fi:)rt]i on her long 
voyage July 13th, pursuing the following itinerary: Fairport, ( )., one day, July 
14th: Lorain, O., July l.-|--?Oth: Put-in-Bay, July '20-3.5th ; Monroe. Mich., July 
2G-27th: Toledo, July 27th-August 1st: Detroit, August l-3d: Green Bay, Wis.,

TOLEDO AND ITS SPLENDID MOTOR BOAT SPEEDWAY 

That the speed boat events miglit be conducted under the most 
favorable conditions^ the Inter-lake Yachting Association selected To- 
ledo on account of the perfect facilities and speedway course on the 
Maumee River, right in the heart of Toledo. To lend its support, 
the City of Toledo, through its Perry Centennial Civic Committee, 
has approjM i;ited $5,000 to be spent during the two days of races 
there. 

Toledo is exceptionally well equipped for handling boats of the 
racing type; a number of cranes are available for unloading directly 
from the cars to the river. Within a quarter of a mile of the starting 
line are four marine radways capable of taking care o£ boats up to 
100 feet, and the protected waters of the Toledo Yacht Club lagoon 
give exceptional docking facilities for any number of boats. Gasoline 
and lubricating oils may be had at the starting line in sealed cans. 

Boats coming to Toledo should be shipped Pennsylvania or New 
York Central delivery ''/r The Toledo Fuel Company. All handling 
free of charge, but at owner's risk. 

The Perry Centennial Racing Events and the National Associa- 
tion of Engine and Boat Manufacturers' Events will be conducted 
entirely separate by reason of specific conditions outlined in the 
Deeds of Gift of the five NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Trophies.

INTRODUCTORY 

There is now appropriated $12,600 to be exjicnded for this Perry 
Centennial Regatta and National Motor Boat Carnival, outside of the 
perpetual trophies offered by the National Association of Engine and

most consistent performances of any races ever held in the United 
States. These races have never been held before outside of New York 
State, and it is the enlistment of this series of races, together with 
the Perry Centennial Races at Toledo and Put-in-Bay, that will mark 
two series of events, the like of which has never been held in this 
country. The National Association of Engine and Boat Manufac- 
turers has appropriated the sum of $2,500 and their five trophies 
valued at $2,260.

of boats starting on any day, it being assumed for the purpose of this 
computation that the number of boats starting in a class is the same 
each day. A boat which starts in a race but does not finish within 
one hour afttr sunset shall receive no points for that race. 

All National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers' Races 
will be run under the 1913 rules and handicaps of the American 
I'owcr Boat Association. 



CONDITIONS AND RULES GOVERNING EVENTS OF THE 
PERRY CENTENNIAL REGATTA 

All races and all boats sailing therein shall be under the control 
and direction of the Regatta Committee and Judges of the Inter-Lake 
Yachting Association. All matters shall be subject to their approval 
and control and all questions and disputes which may arise, shall be 
decided by them. 

Their decision shall be based on rules as published, but as 
no rules can be devised capable of meeting every incident and acci- 
dent of sailing, the committee will keep in view the ordinary customs 
of the sea and discourage .nil attempts to win races by other than 
superior skill and speed. The decision of the Committee shall be 
final. 

No member of any Committee shall take part in the decision of 
any question in which he is directly interested. 

These races wdl be conducted separate and distinct from the 
National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers' events and 

upon no restrictions whatever except for classification in length 
over all. 

Prizes for Perry Centennial Events will be awaided in cash or 
merchandise at the option of the winner. It will be necessary, how- 
ever, for the entrant in any Perry Centennial Event to declare on his 
entry blank whether he shall accept cash or merchandise prizes. 



Bang-and-Go-Back Rules 

First: Entry blank for these series will be required, giving name 
of the boat, owner, chib and port; also the over all length and type 
of boat. 

Second : A prepaiatory gun will be tired live minutes before 
starting gun, both signals being fired from the Committee boat at 
starting line. 

Third: The course will be a triangular one. AH boats in one 
class start together with the starting gun. At some time, totally 
unknown to any of the contestants, another gun or bomb will be 
fired from Rattlesnake Island, which gun or bomb will be the signal 
to turn to the right and return by the same course to the starting 
point, which will be the finishing line. 

Fourth: Every contestant is expected to run a fair race at his 
best speed from start to finish. 

Fifth: However, as conditions affect the various boats differently 
all contestants will be allowed to make the return trip in a few 
seconds less time than the time between starting and turning signals, 
but to prevent jockeying and to assure a fair race, nobody but one 
of the Judges selected by that body will know what the time reduc- 
tion will be until after turning signal is given when he will deliver 
same to the other Judges under seal. 

Sixth : Any boats f aking the course and crossing the finishing 
line in less time than tie suni of the out-going time, plus the reduced 
returning time, will be penalized bv doubling the out-going time and 
adding twice the reduction above allowed, and will be accredited with 
having finished in such [o^ition as this corrected time would indicate. 

Example 

Let us assume an allowance of 'A^f, , and that it was predetermined 
that the turning gun would he fired T^n minutes after the starting gun. 
Then the boats can make the returning time in nine-tenths of a minute 



less than the outgoing time, or oi seconds. Hence, the outgoing time 
being 30 minutes, and the returning time being 29 minutes and 6 
seconds, the total time from start to finish would be 50 minutes, 6 
seconds. 

Let us suppose again that one of the boats gets back over the 
line in 50 minutes. 4 seconds. Then, according to the rules, she 
would be penalized as follows: 

Outgoing time 30 min. x2 = 60:00 

Uoubling discount tune o4 x 2 

~=^ 1:48 

T 1 J .. , '^0 

lime credited by penalization 61-48 

Time for performance 59 :06 

Actual penalization for jockeying 2:42 

Seventh: If, in the opinion of the Judges, one or more of the 
contestants have not complied with the spirit and intent of the above 
conditions and have failed to run a fair race, such contestant may be 
disqualified, from which decision there will be no appeal. 

Eight: R.^cing flags bearing the class letter and number will be 
given each entrant, which must be secured to the hull on the right 
and left bow, or elsewhere, as the judges may direct. 

The foregoing rules, conditions and prizes are subject to change 
by the Regatta Committee. 

Copies of the Deeds of Gift of the Trophies given by the National 
Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers will be mailed on 
receipt of request to Ira Hand, Secretary, and copies of the American 
Power Boat Association's rules, under which the National Association 
Carnival events will be raced, may be purchased from any of the 
Yachting Publications.

KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE WAR OF 1812 

A Lr)ui.sville t^cncral and Kentucky soldiers conquered from the French and Indians the 
territory out of which was afterward carved the splendid Commonwealths of Ohio, Indiana, 
Illinois, ^Visc()nsin and ]\Iichi<;an. 

A £^eneration later a solid conoressional delectation urged President Madison to declare 
war against Great Britain. 

One of the earliest events of the War of 181'? was the massacre at the River Raisin, 
near Detroit, where American troops, consisting mostly of Kentucky and Indiana soldiers, 
inchiding those who had surrendered, and W(>men and children, were brutally butchered and 
scalped by the Imlians with never a word of protest from their English officers. 

A similar disaster overtook the Kentucky soldiers in the first attack at Fort Meigs. The 
American troops, consisting mostly of Kentucky soldiers, succeeded in repulsing the enemy 
at the second attack on Fort Meigs. 

More than a year of war ])assed before any substantial victorv was effected liv Ameri- 
can arms. The first encouraging news came from a little band of IGO soldiers, commanded 
by a young Louisville officer. Major George Croghan, who repulsed the British and Indians 
ten times their number at Fort Stei)lienson, thus assuring a permanence to the conquest of 
the Northwest territory eft'ected by (ieneral George Rogers Clark. 

One-third of the men actually engaged in the battle of Lake Erie, which resulted in a 
victory by Perry's fleet, were Kentuckians, few of whom had ever before seen a vessel and 
most of whciui mounted the insecure rigging fmni which thev piuired their deadly fire into 
the British ranks. 

Practically ever}- soldier in the armv. as well as its officers who fought and won the 
battle of the Thames, the crisis and decisive jioint in the war, were Kentuckians and 
Indianians. 

" The Chari;e of the Forlorn Mope,"' the briefest, must terriljle an<i most heroic encounter 
narriited in the annals of warfare. cf>nsisted e.xclusivelv of Kentucky soldiers. 

The sharpshooters who slew Packinham and won the battle of Xew Orleans were Ken- 
tucky and Tennessee soldiers. 

The American Commissioner, who practically dictated the terms of peace as between the 
nations, was a Kentucky statesman, Henrv Clav. 

The Commonwealtli of Indiana does not ])articipate in the celcliration <if the Perrv 
Centennial, and one-half of the Commonwealth will assist in celebrating the event in Lijuis- 
ville, especially as General William Henry Harrison, Commander-in-Chief of the Xorthwest 
forces, lought under a commission granted not by the Federal Government, Init hv the 
Governrir of Kentucky, and fought by the soldiers supplied, not by the I'^deral ("k ivernment. 
but by the Commissioners of Kentuck^•. 

These events will be fittingly celel)rated in the Louis\ille celebration, Seiitemljcr ■-"> tu 
()ctiil)er 'i. which all America is in\ited to attend and es]ieciall\' the sons and daughters of 
Fventucky who have migrated North and West of the great rivers and the grandsons and 
grandsons-in-law who now live in the territory wrested from the hostile French and more 
llian hostile Indians liy General George Rogers Clark and his Kentuckv troops. 

For concessions and amusements apply to Col. Wni. E. Riley, Director of .Vmusements, 
Perry Centennial Association. Louisville. For other information and for literature descriptive 
of the celebration, ajiply to Dennv B. Goode, General Secretarv. Louisville.
